I am going through my parents’ old photographs and making digital copies of those worth preserving and sharing. The enclosed is a photograph of the staff of the Standard Manufacturing Company at the east end of Water St. My grandfather, John Thomas Carr Wheeler, is seated at the far left in front. The man at the other end standing with the suit on was one of the founders and the manager at the time the photograph was taken, H. T. McCoubrey. When this photograph appeared in the Daily News on Thursday March 9, 1978 it was said to show the staff 70 years prior in 1908-1909. But in fact it could not have because it was clearly taken in the warmer months and Mr. McCoubrey died on February 1, 1908. So I think the photo dates from at least the summer of 1907 or possibly earlier. The company was founded in 1902 and it could have been taken soon after that date as my grandfather worked there as a tinsmith from the day it opened its doors and for the next 53 years until his retirement in 1955. I don’t know if you can find a place for this on the website but I think it will be of interest to the readers of your magazine as well.   Submitted By: Chris Morry
